Hi everyone,

I am a proud owner of a v35 coupe in New Zealand for the past 2.5 years and is now thinking of upgrading to a v36 coupe.

I have been doing my research on the internet but is struggling to find the actual features and specs for the different type of v36.

As such, I am just keen to get some help from everyone here on the following:-

1) Apart from leather seats, what are the additional features that you can get from a type P as compared to the base model?

2) With the type S, I know it doesn't have the leather seat but come with paddle shift and 19 inch wheels instead as compared to the type P. However, apart from this are there anything that the Type P has that the Type S doesn't?

3) How significant is the different between a Type S and Type SP? I understand that Type SP has leather seat and the Bose sound system. But apart from this, what's the different between the Type S and Type SP?

4) Does any of the variant comes with cruise control? From some website, it seems like it cruise control is an optional feature but the dealer I am looking at to help me do the import process tells me that the coupe doesn't come with cruise control.

At the moment, I am pretty keen on a type SP but prices are a little steep and probably just over my budget. Hence, I am thinking of looking into the type P or type S as I am not really fuss about having full leather seat or just partial leather or having a Bose sound system. I do hope that I can have the paddle shift and cruise control options.

I have tried looking in the forum for the detail breakdown of options and features for each variant but can't seems to have any luck finding too much details, hence the new post.

I do apologise if there is already a post for this and would appreciate anyone's help in directing me to the appropriate post / website.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Cheers!

Hi! Thanks for this! I recall finding this before a while back when I was researching for my v35 and comparing it with the v36. For some reasons I must have missed it this round or could have been the key words I used. But thanks for the tip! Another question I have is does the car has the option for cruise control in all variant or it's more an after market add-on by Chris? Thanks!

Thanks for the update Chris! Looks like it's going to be pretty hard finding a car with cruise control then! Normally what's the cost of the kit? Can I get the kit here in Auckland or can you send a set from Australia across and I get someone locally to fit it? Or do you have any contacts who can do this? Thanks!

Hi people, another quick questions on the v36.

Does the car comes standard with the on-board hard disk, SD card slot, ipod integration and bluetooth? I was looking on a review of the G37 on cnet and it was saying that the hard disk and SD slot comes with the sat nav system. Is that true for the v36? Is the features standard for each variant of the car?

Please advise!

Thanks!

Thanks Al! Hmmmm..... sounds like the Sat Nav will have quite a bit of other use as I would love to have 9gb of HDD to store my music although the ipod integration might solve that problem anyway but I do recall reading somewhere on the forum saying it's probably best not to have the sat nav for some other reason.....

    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around with a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
    • Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
    • It ended up being that orientation of the float hub in relation to the clutch disk, when I installed it, I heard a loud click and being stupid, I decided to not take it a part and check it. The hub didn't properly align with the clutch disk and was causing the issue. Definitely an odd one! Dahtone Racing was able to fix me right up, stand up blokes!      
    • Right, but I'm saying on the stock ECU measured airmass from the MAF is no higher than stock. So it's accounting for the higher flow rate iso-manifold pressure. You just have to keep turning down the boost until you're within the stock tune's load scale. If you run off the end there's no telling what will happen. This does mean there's zero benefit to the turbos you're running vs stock, if anything it's just a straight downgrade because the transient response is worse, you don't even get the ECU's boost solenoid helping to pull the wastegate closed during initial spool, and peak power is only whatever the factory map can give you before you hit the R&R corner. On a -9 I would bet that you would have to change out the wastegate spring once you have a real ECU and you're tuning it for real. I'm not saying this is a remotely ideal state of affairs, it's just a way to keep it driveable until you can get a proper tune done.
